Jazz fusion and dusty hip hop with Beat Pete for the full 120. Expect sounds from Michal Urbaniak, John Abercrombie, Bill Evans, and more inside.

Joints & Jams w/ Beat Pete - August 2021

Solid Steel (20th June) Fanu is our guest in Hour 1, an electronic music artist and DJ from Finland, who has been releasing music for many years, plus remix duties that include Bill Laswell and our own Amon Tobin. In his own words:
"In addition to making/pushing/DJing broken beat music and running my label, Lightless, I've been working on loads of hip hop in the past 1.5 years, some of which will start to surface soon on Redefinition Records under my FatGyver alias. Hence, instead of going all electronic with the mix like I most often do, this time I wanted to go for the theme, "hip hop to D&B and back". Hip hop and drum and bass used to have a lot in common, after all, and their aesthetics can be very similar."

Solid Steel Radio Show 20/6/2014 Part 1 + 2 - Fanu

Whether he’s taking the roof off a club with his unique selection of deep and tough house music, enchanting a backroom with a genre-bending set of disco, Balearic, rock and hip hop or playing chillout music in a bay in Croatia, Bill Brewster is the man for all occasions.

In a former life, Bill was a punk rocker, a chef and also the co-editor of football magazine When Saturday Comes but has been a record nerd all of his life. He began DJing in the 1980s, but came into his own in the early 1990s, particularly during a two-year stint in New York running DMC’s office, where nights at the Sound Factory and hanging out with Danny Tenaglia gave him the musical grounding you can still hear in his music today. Bill was also one of the founding residents at Fabric in London, a position he held for five years. There are few still playing regularly today that have his dedication, eclecticism and encyclopaedic knowledge of music.

His parallel life is as a writer and with his long-term partner-in-crime Frank Broughton they have written four books together, including the acclaimed Last Night A DJ Saved My Life (latest edition published last July), How To DJ (Properly) and The Record Players. The pair are also behind the legendary DJhistory.com and their party, Low Life, has been running for nearly 30 years. They now spend most of their time on a dinghy moored on
the Rochdale Canal.

He has been working in the industry’s fringes for over 40 years including the running of various labels from Twisted UK and Forensic in the ’90s to Disco Sucks and Anorak in the noughties. Occasionally Bill finds time to secrete himself away in a studio to make music
or cook up edits. And when he’s not doing any of that he has a family and a dog called Mavis to tend to. He is currently working on a secret project involving badgers, GM crops and disco.

Meanwhile Back on the Planet Mix by John Pain

Sick of all da lame ass rap beef.. Niggas ain't doin shit but trading words, We waitin to see who really bout dat action..
Growing up as an angry youth, Gangster Rap  music resonated  
well with me.  The violence and anti-authority attitude delivered  
through the lyrics were just the energy and motivation I needed to  overcome the times when I felt alienated, persecuted and/or discriminated against for being different.
Young Black men in inner cities are disproportionately affected. They are both the primary victims and perpetrators of gun assaults and homicides.
This grave reality does not mean Black people are inherently violent. Instead, it largely reflects their disproportionate experience of systemic barriers such as poverty and limited access to quality education, good jobs and affordable housing – all factors that research shows contribute to neighborhood violence.
Making matters worse are the high rates of illegal gun possession among young men in urban areas.

This behavior is often driven by reasons beyond criminal intent and include distrust of the legal system and the perceived need for self-protection.
More people walking around with weapons raises the risks for minor disputes escalating into deadly encounters. Studies revealing a connection  between increased gun carrying and a rise in gun-related fatalities highlight the dangers of ready access to guns.
